yeah, I get that they're tougher to understand, but I don't think they're near as tough to understand as you guys think. Right now the biggest problem is you guys don't have a reference to what a good or bad p60 is, and I'm not sure that there's any way to fix that aside from experience. One of the biggest things here was splitting out ES and PP scoring. It just seems way too important when trying to compare players to each other not to factor that in.
I do think the possesion numbers should be pretty simple to understand - one is a percentage where 50% = average and the other is a +/- relative number where average = 0, so I don't think I can make that any easier to understand. That's no more complicated than understanding regular old +/-.
and I gotta be honest I have fun wasting time with these numbers but only because I think they're useful. would be tough for me to waste that time on numbers I don't think are actually very good anymore (last couple years were a bit of a chore). maybe you guys could just trust me that once you get used to them they'll make you way more informed than you used to be?
that being said I do love the letter grade idea I came up with (with an assist to beleafer) because that makes it easier for everyone to understand. and I did use pace instead of ppg originally ibecause it was easier to understand. So maybe I can come up with something easier.
